The SST®-ML™ is a phenomenal muzzleloading option and an excellent choice for long-distance black powder hunters. Other "easy-loading" bullets often fail to properly engage the rifling, which doesn't effectively stabilize the bullet and, as a result, accuracy suffers. But Hornady® sabots fully engage the rifling to keep the SST®-ML™ centered and sealed during firing, enabling maximum velocity and unrivalled long-range performance. On impact, the Flex Tip® is compressed at the front of the bullet, causing the bullet to expand. The speed shoe features a loophole-free method of pre-loading the shot.
